IMPROVEMENT IN COAL-OIL BURNERS FOR LAMPS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 37,220, dated December 23, 1862.

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, J OSEPH Donny, of the city of Brooklyn, county of Kings, and State of New York, have invented an Improvement on Kerosene or Ooal Oil Burners; and I hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making part of this specification Figure l is a perspective view of the burner c mplete. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the cone. Fig. 3 is the wick-tube, also in persgective. Fig. 4 is the shape of one of the h tlves of the cone when flattened. Fig. 5 is at circular plate or disk upon which the cone rests.

The object of this invention is to enable persons having the ordinary chimney-burners now in use to use the same without a chimney. Therefore, to enable persons engaged in the manufacture of lamps to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.

All that part below the cone 0, Fig. 1, is similar in construction to those now in use for burning coal-oil with a chimney so far as the raising and the lowering of the wick is concerned, and also the position of the wick and wick-tube 4", Fig.1. The cone 0 is made of thin metal in two equal parts, each part being of the shape seen at Fig. 4, and having the slots to a. The circular plate Fig. 5 is of the proper diameter to fit the ring at, Fig. 1, and resting upon a shoulder made upon its inside surface, and having an oblong slot in its center of the proper size to fit the wick-tube 1', Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a separate tube, that fits over the wicktube 1', Fig. 1. The two parts of the cone 0 are both formed in the same die, of such shape as to make the cone, when locked together at the two sides 0 c, Fig. 4, circular at the bottom and the same shape at the top, as seen in Fig. 2.

Operation: The plate Fig. 5 is now placed in the ring n, Fig. 1. The tube Fig. 3 is placed over the wick'tube 1", Fig. 1, so as to form and be part of the wick-tube 1", at the same time extending it to a point near the top of the cone 0 by placing the cone 0 upon the plate Fig. 5. The wicktube having been supplied with wick and the whole put on the lamp with the oil therein it will be ready to light.

l/Vhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The particular shape of the plate Fig. 4, with its slots at a, substantially as described.

2. The circular plate Fig. 5, with its slot M, in combination with the movable tube, Fig. 3.
